I don't think the "craziest" thing I ever did, should even be posted on this board.... but your story reminds me of ONE of the crazy things I have done.....(I could tell you things that would give you night-mares) but here is a “not so crazy one”
Years ago, before I met my wife (and Jesus was just a lad), I was driving on the interstate with some "friends" to see a concert. It was still day-light, and everyone was hyped to see the show and party for the weekend.
A car with three guys pulls along-side us as we are driving. They seemed to want to “race” and kept making eye contact. So being the young male that I was…. Heh heh… I decided “what the heck” I would just give them a run for their money. I smack down on the gas … and we’re off!
For about forty or so miles, we are neck in neck… one minute ahead, the next behind. The idiot in my back seat rolls his window down and shoots the bird as we pass our “opponents” , and thus begins a verbal war between two cars, at 90 mph.
At some point, it got really nasty… and to this day, I don’t know what I was thinking. I hit the brakes, signalling that I was ready to “throw down” with these punks, and they acknowledged. Another half-mile, we reach an exit ramp, and our “opponents” jumped on it… with me right on their tail.
They pull into the parking lot of a gas station, and my “crew” and I jump out, ready to bash some heads….
In an instant, I see three (seemingly college age kids) jump out of their sedan.
Before I knew what happened, I hear …. “freeze! Get your F%Cking face on the ground!” The three “college students” pull out 9mm pistols…. And little silver undercover badges…. They were drug enforcement agents!
It was a tough thing explaining why I just challenged three cops to a fight. It was an even tougher thing to go to a concert with a wet spot on my jeans….
Luckily, no one was hurt. It was definitely a stupid thing. That happened about 16 years ago… if my damaged memory serves me…. And to this day, when I drive on the interstate… I keep my eyes on the road… straight ahead… I have my wife in the passenger’s seat, and my son in the back seat… if you wanna pass me… go right ahead.
